Intelligent LED lighting market

TSMC (2330) led BridgELux (investment factory Bridgelux CEO BillWatkins) said in an interview, 20% of the world's electricity is used for lighting, lighting equipment, all which can be converted to LED, can make the ratio decreased to 4%. He also pointed out that the general lighting market size of up to $100 billion.

Watkins pointed out that the future of the company will be in the LED light bulb with chip, and then to operating mode to create intelligent LED lighting market new. For example, people in the future will be able to use the phone password (PIN) will be open 15 minutes intelligent street lamp. Watkins said Bridgelux would like to place LED on a chip and sell it in the form of an array of lighting engines (sellingyoualightengineinanarray).

Watkins said, these links to the network in addition to the LED lighting function, can also include brightness control, on / off, add color, wireless remote control, smoke detection, play music, perform network function can be used to provide all the chip function; but these functions have many costs are too high. Watkins pointed out that he was more interested in Wi-Fi, WiMax, and hope to enhance energy efficiency of environmental protection solutions to capture the consumer home lamp holder.

Bridgelux and MolexIncorporated electronic connector manufacturers jointly developed "Helieon" sustainable lighting module for the world's first integrated high precision lighting, socket type solution of the PNP sustainable solid-state lighting module, to speed up the pace of innovation and assist in solid-state lighting entered the production phase. This system can be easily replaced or upgraded after installation, without removing the full range of lighting equipment, and high system efficiency can make the device operating efficiency greater than 50lm/W.

Bridgelux in March 24th had issued a press release pointed out that Helieon can be used in indoor and outdoor lighting system, each unit of the wholesale price of less than $20, more than 10 years of life, in this book (2010) May shipment. Bridgelux CEO BillWatkins said in a press release, Helieon will quickly break the myth of solid-state lighting is still not mass production.
